If everything went smoothly, they had a great chance of obtaining the remaining treasure inheritance from the Golden Furnace Sect.
Jiang Chengxuan certainly hadn’t forgotten about this.
However, the location of the Golden Furnace Sect was in the Nova Waters, a considerable distance from their current location.
Even with teleportation arrays along the way, the journey back and forth would take a significant amount of time, not to mention the time they might need to spend at the Golden Furnace Sect itself.
Consequently, attending the Nascent Soul Trade Fair scheduled in three to four years might become impossible.
“Why don’t we wait until after the Nascent Soul Trade Fair to visit the Golden Furnace Sect together, my wife? What do you think?” Jiang Chengxuan suggested to Shen Ruyan.
Shen Ruyan smiled and nodded in agreement. “Yes, let’s do that.”
Just as the couple decided on this, they suddenly sensed a significant fluctuation in the spiritual Qi atop Mount Mystic Tai.
Realizing what this might mean, they immediately left their cave abode.
Outside, they indeed saw a massive gathering of spiritual Qi over the mountain where Jiang Anran resided, along with a spiritual pressure distinctly different from Violet Palace.
Both of them felt a surge of joy. “Is Anran about to form her Golden Core?” they wondered.
“Let’s go over and see,” they decided and quickly descended upon Jiang Anran’s mountain.
At this moment, the commotion also attracted the attention of other Jiang family members.
Jiang Rendao was the first to arrive.
Upon seeing Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, he greeted them respectfully.
“Greetings, Granduncle and Grandaunt.”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan nodded back.
Over the years, Jiang Rendao’s cultivation had also approached steadily towards mid-stage Golden Core.
As long as he polished his Dharmic power, it should not be difficult to break through to mid-stage Golden Core in ten years.
Feeling the changes in spiritual Qi in Jiang Anran’s cave abode, Jiang Rendao couldn’t hide his happiness.
He looked at Jiang Chengxuan and said, “Granduncle, Grandaunt, is Aunt Anran about to condense her Golden Core?”
As they spoke, more people arrived, including Jiang Renyi, Jiang Renchuan, and Jiang Yuncheng.
Upon seeing Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, they exchanged greetings.
Jiang Chengxuan then said, “If I’m not mistaken, Anran will successfully form her Golden Core in two years.
Let’s all go and observe her tribulation.
It will be greatly beneficial for your future cultivation and Golden Core formation.”
Indeed, Jiang Anran was about to form her Golden Core, to the surprise and delight of everyone present.
Excluding Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, the Jiang family would soon have their second Golden Core cultivator.
Rumble!
Two years later, dark clouds and silver lightning suddenly gathered above the mountain where Jiang Anran resided.
Streaks of silver lightning flickered in it.
At that moment, the door of her cave abode opened with a bang, and the newly succeeded Golden Core cultivator, Jiang Anran, appeared before everyone.
She first smiled and nodded towards Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan before acknowledging the others.
Then she quickly flew out of Mount Mystic Tai.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan immediately led the others to follow Jiang Anran.
When she stopped in a void, the tribulation clouds in the sky seemed ready to unleash their fury.
With a thunderous roar, a dazzling lightning bolt struck directly at Jiang Anran.
Buzz!
Jiang Anran rapidly formed spells with her hands, and soon a huge earth-elemental shield, formed entirely by Dharmic power, appeared above her head.
The air was filled with blinding electrical light.
Jiang Renyi and others, standing relatively closer, couldn’t help but shiver.
Fortunately, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were there to dissipate the residual effects of the heavenly tribulation.
The second tribulation lightning arrived soon after.
Jiang Anran continued her spellcasting, forming an even larger earth-elemental shield above her.
In this way, she successfully blocked the first four tribulation lightning.
When the fifth tribulation lightning descended, Jiang Anran finally brought out her defensive treasure, a yellow-glowing pagoda, which helped her block the next three waves.
By the eighth one, she summoned her intrinsic Dharma treasure, an impressively hefty earth-elemental long spear, and easily negated the last two tribulation lightning.
With that, Jiang Anran’s tribulation was over, bringing relief to everyone, including Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
They knew of Jiang Anran’s solid cultivation foundation and her natural advantage in defense due to her earth-elemental heavenly spiritual root.
Still, there’s always a “just in case” in every certainty.
Seeing Jiang Anran successfully overcome her tribulation, their faint worries were finally dispelled.
Several hours later.
Jiang Anran joined Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan on Xuanming Peak.
They learned that her newly formed Golden Core was of the eighth level, considered a top-grade and having a high chance of forming a Nascent Soul in the future.
However, to reach further heights, she would need to put in more effort and seize greater opportunities.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan offered guidance for her future cultivation and each gifted her a Level 4 protective Dharma treasure.
The path ahead would depend on Jiang Anran herself.
At the Golden Core realm, there wasn’t much more they could offer as mentors, especially if she aimed for greater achievements.
Understanding this, Jiang Anran spent nearly two years in a brief seclusion on Xuanming Peak.
Afterward, she bid farewell to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan and left Mount Mystic Tai to explore the outside world.
Watching their disciple’s departing figure, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan exchanged a look. “Ruyan, there’s not much time left before the Nascent Soul Trade Fair at Hidden Sword Palace. Let’s prepare to depart,” Jiang Chengxuan suggested.
Shen Ruyan nodded.
After instructing Jiang Rendao and Shen Yuanlong, the couple transformed into lights and set off towards Hidden Sword Palace in the state of Yu.
Hidden Sword Palace, the leading sect of the state of Yu, was located in the extreme west of the region, on Mount Hidden Sword.
The mountain, standing three thousand feet tall, resembled an upside-down sword thrust into the earth, exuding a sense of majestic sharpness.
Upon their arrival, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, without being too ostentatious, courteously presented a visiting card to the cultivator guarding the gate.
The cultivator, surprised to discover that the visitors were two Nascent Soul Perfected Lords, led them to the reception peak of Hidden Sword Palace without delay.
After a short while, familiar laughter was heard.
Their old acquaintance, Earth Walker, appeared before them, accompanied by a striking female cultivator dressed in black, carrying two silver long swords.
Her presence alone gave off enormous pressure.
Most importantly, her aura indicated she was also a Nascent Soul Perfected Lord..
